I'm reminded, of course, of Bill Hicks.

"I was in Nashville Tennessee last year. After the show I went to a Waffle House. I'm not proud of it, I was hungry. And, I'm alone, I'm eating, and I'm reading a book, right?
Waitress walks over to me. 'Hey, whatchoo readin' for?' Isn't that the weirdest fucking question you've ever heard? Not what am I reading but what am I reading for? Well, I guess you stumped me. Why do I read? Well...hmm...I dunno... I guess I read for a lot of reasons, and the main one is so I don't end up being a fucking Waffle House waitress."
